A monumental book titled “Chinese Children in the 20th Century" hit the book stores on the eve of the 21st century.
The publisher, the Guangdong-based New Century Publishing House, is a leader in this field as the book is one of the first to deal with the issue of Chinese children in a systematic manner, according to local experts.
The book, containing two million Chinese characters and over 2, 000 entries, describes the development of Chinese children in the past 100 years.
The Chinese Youth and Children Research Center organized dozens of Chinese scholars and experts to complete the history book in the past three years.
